    In this 32 credit program, you examine ethical dilemmas and problems that you are likely to encounter within your chosen profession and gain the skills to accomplish crime analysis to develop practical responses to crime.

    You explore how to address current issues within criminal justice systems and gain the analytical and leadership skills to recommend new policies and procedures.

    You can complete the program in as little as 20 months, taking two courses per semester for five consecutive semesters.

  • CAREER EXPECTATIONS

  • Recent justice reform initiatives in British Columbia have created new avenues for criminal justice professionals to lead systems change, policy innovation, and legislative renewal. The government is seeking to build these reforms on insights from rigorous academic and applied research, and is collaborating with local universities such as UFV to develop results-oriented strategies to reduce crime, improve services, manage costs, and shorten delays.

    That's why earning a Master's degree in Criminal Justice can help you grow your career, diversify your professional opportunities, and boost your earnings. It can also serve as a stepping stone to doctoral studies to prepare you for a career in teaching, research, or senior administration.
